Welcome to the Throttle Motor Control with Hall Sensor repository! This project offers a proficient control mechanism for motors using a Hall-effect throttle sensor. The core advantage of this code is delivering smooth and adjustable acceleration/deceleration responses based on the Hall sensor input.
-
Debounce Mechanism: Assures only substantial changes in the Hall sensor throttle position are processed, negating any minor jittery fluctuations.
-
Ease-in Acceleration: Achieve polished acceleration or deceleration based on the variance between the current and target speed, granting full reign over motor behavior.
-
Speed Mapping: Converts Hall sensor readings (analog input) to a suitable motor speed (PWM output).
-
Safety Clamps: Enforces PWM limits to ensure motor safety.
-
Hardware:
- Motor with a PWM-compatible driver.
- Throttle based on a Hall-effect sensor.
- Arduino board or equivalent microcontroller.
-
Software:
- Arduino IDE or an analogous platform for programming your microcontroller.
- Connect the Hall-effect throttle sensor to the analog pin designated as
throttlePin
(default: A0). - Interface the motor driver's PWM input to the digital pin denoted as
motorPin
(default: pin 3). - Power your board and upload the included code.
The code presents several adjustable parameters:
-
accelerationFactor
: Modulate the intensity of the ease-in acceleration. Smaller values yield a gentler motor reaction to throttle alterations, while bigger values elicit a brisker response. -
speedDifferenceThreshold
: Dictates when the motor directly matches the target speed versus utilizing the ease-in technique. -
debounceThreshold
&debounceInterval
: Fine-tune the debounce system for the throttle to heighten responsiveness or mitigate jitters.
Personalize these settings for the desired motor activity.
